Re: My iPad is disabled to the point of 'Connect to iTunes', when I first got it, I synced it to iTunes. However, my laptop needed repair and Acer wiped all the data, now I cannot unlock my iPad.

You may want to try DFU Mode

1. Turn off device

2. Hold down power button for 3 seconds

3. Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds

4. Without releasing the Home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds

Re: Safari is constantly redirecting me to either a porn page or the App store. Please help!

thank you Demo for posting a reply so quickly.

I looked at the Thomas A Reed's instructions. If I understand corectly, his solution is to install FamiyShield OpenDNS from the Internet Safety Project. I'm not sure how this would protect against a redirect to the App store, which isn't **** related.

The page he links to also says: "You cannot change the DNS without jailbreaking you mobile device." I don't want to jailbreak my iPad and shag up the warranty. 

Even if this doesn't involve jailbreaking, it seems as if this solution will mask the results of the redirect rather than addressing the underlying problem.

Is there an alternative?

Sync contacts to iPad

I am a long-time Mac user, and have just bought my first iPad.  I am trying to copy my Contacts from the iMac (Mountain Lion) to the iPad, and can't seem to find a way.

I have set up iCloud and enabled contacts on both iMac and iPad, and it syncs one-way:  contacts from the iPad find their way to the iMac.  But contacs from the iMac don't get to the iPad.  There are 21 contacts in th iPad, and 116 in the iMac (including the 21).  Why won't they go back, and what do I have to do?

I have also made a direct connection via USB and tried syncing via iTunes.  But the contacts data doesn't appear anywhere and nothing I can find can make the copy/sync happen.

Of course I am new to both iPad and iCloud, and my difficulties are likely finger trouble, but any guidaance on how to get my contacts transferred would be welcome.

Thanks.

Re: What is iTunes gift card. How to get it?

An itunes gift card is a plastic card you can get at most stores these days that has a pre defined amount of money in it.  you use this money or credit to buy things from the iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores.

They usually come in different values. like 15 dollars, 30 dollars, 50 dollars etc... Or an equivalent in your country's currency.

What they are is basically codes that add prepaid credit to your Apple Id account.

Re: My wallpapers are gone

The iOS wallpapers change when you update the iOS, if that is what you are asking about. If you had custom wallpapers saved in the camera roll, restoring from a backup (if they are in the backup) will restore those photos to the iPad.

Debit card not accepted. Why?

Apple does not accept debit cards for the App Store.

Accepted payment types

You need an Apple ID to buy items in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store and iBookstore. When you create an Apple ID for any of these stores, you will need to provide a payment method for purchases. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use:

Credit cardsiTunes CardsiTunes Store Gift CertificatesContent CodesStore credit (including Allowance Account balances)ClickandBuyPayPal

In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.

How to release stuck dragon from epic breeding island

You would probably better off asking in the game developer's support forum, but if you are saying that the game is frozen and you can't navigate out of the screen, reboot your iPad.

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Display shows no SIM card?

Its possible the sim card lost contact with the iPad due to dust or misalignment, so you may want to try opening the sim tray with the included Sim removal tool, clean off any dust  from the sim card and replace it.

If not, and resetting the iPad doesn't work either, you may want to take it to your Cell carrier and ask them to take a look at the sim, it is possible it failed, and needs to be replaced. They should be able to do this easily, and with minimal to no charge depending on the carrier.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I need to visualize a document attached on a pdf file on an iPad. Is there any application to do that ?

Yes. Quite a few actually.

Starting with Apple's own iBooks App, I also see many recomendations for Goodreader, and Adobe's own PDF Reader.  Just to name a few. Look for them in the App Store. iBooks and Adobe reade are free.  You can also search the App Store for other alternatives.

Also for most PDF's the Mail App can open them directly.

Transfer files to iPad from a Macbook Air instead of home iMac

Hi all

My wife unfortunately has an extended stay in hospital and I'm trying to find some way of transferring videos to her iPad to help break the boredom.  Her iPad is linked to her iMac at home, backs up over iCloud, and we've a Macbook Air with an account linked to her Apple ID and iTunes is authorised against her Apple ID.  As I can normally only get there once a day it's not really practical to take the iPad home as she loses it for a day but I can load up the Macbook at home and bring it in.

She has the GoodReader app and I can transfer by creating a WiFi network from the Macbook.  This works, but the files are large and it takes quite a long time - most of the visiting time.  There's no WiFi in the hospital, otherwise we could probably find some solution where she syncs overnight or something via WiFi.  I'm hoping to find some way to do it over the USB connector which should be much quicker, ideally using built in software or Apps.

Thanks for any pointers.

Andrew

IPad Redirecting in Safari AFTER restore - JAVA issue?

Hi All,

I seem to be having a similar problem to the person in this thread

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4979675?start=0&tstart=0

but have escalated to a main discussion topic as it seems particularly annoying. I am unable to use a particular website from Safari on my iPad4 (iOS 6.1.3) - the website is www.guardian.co.uk (and subdirectories). When I select from bookmark the site is directed to mobile.juicyads.com and then finds it way c.mobpartner.mobi before sending me to App store for a particular game advert.

Happened before and i deleted all web history/cleared cache etc and this worked. NOW, however the clearing of cache does nothing. I have tried restore to backup and restore as new iPad - neither of which have addressed the situation.

I have also tried Chrome browser on iPad and this was redirected too.

There is a solution in that if I turn JAVA OFF then the redirect doesn't happen.

Is there anything else I haven't tried and does anyone actually know what the "infection" or problem actually is.

Thanks
